This week's post explores the art of Jujutsu

Jujutsu is a Japanese martial art created for defense against an opponent who is armed and wearing armour when you are not armed or only have a small weapon.Jujutsu translates as "gentle art" as it is an art of manipulating your opponents force to use it against them as opposed to hitting them with your own force as this is not always ideal/ possible, particularly if you are smaller than your opponent.Through the use of Jujutsu, a person can easily defeat an opponent that is much larger than themselves with minimal effort by applying correct technique taught in our Dojo (training area).

At Hiryu Budou-Jyo, we blend the art of Jujutsu with techniques derived from other arts to allow for a smooth flowing technique that can defeat any opponent. We ensure that all techniques are blended and adapted to allow them to suit all situations, for example if you were to punch your opponent, you could not guarantee if they would fall or not; and if they did, which way they would fall. For this reason we teach all of our students to defend against all of these possibilities using a variety of techniques, including Jujutsu, to allow them to overcome obstacles they may encounter when facing their opponent.
